Resources Available to Support Healthy Nutrition for Older Texans

A healthy diet is an important part of aging and living well. However, according to the Nutrition and Aging Resource Center, one in two older adults in the United States are at risk for malnutrition.

Malnutrition is a serious condition that happens when your diet doesn’t contain the right amount of nutrients. One of the leading risk factors for malnutrition is food insecurity.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 13.5% of families in the U.S. were food insecure at some time during 2023.
